Faculty Mentorship

I was really grateful for the opportunity to perform innovative research with faculty who were excellent mentors. Because of this, I obtained my position as associate project engineer at The Institute of Musculoskeletal Science & Education (IMSE), which designs and develops spinal implants and instrumentation.

Internships & Assistantships

I chose Stevens because they offered a specialized major in Applied AI which not a lot of other universities have. I worked with a couple of companies during my internship and research assistantships, which helped me understand how data is used to come up with new AI techniques that can make products better. The confidence that these experiences have given me is what is going to drive me forward.
